(Having had France in the Sweepstake at work, I think this is the fathest through the world cup a team I've been supporting have ever made it. I might actually watch the final.

Valuing my limbs, however, I will not hang a Tricolore from my house :))

And to leave you with a football themed quote, I bring you from the recorded annals of the department of humour-by-two-people-saying-the-same-thing-at-the-same-time[1],

Jack: Blah blah blah portugal greasy hair blah.
Jack-and-Laura: Ooh, nice torso though.
Jack-and-Laura: Have you got the football on too?

We have a sweepstake at work too. I didn't play. Poor old Jason got Tunisia. :-)

There wasn't a "first knocked out" category? :)

[miss-next.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no. :-)

That would be quite fun to calculate, actually. In fact, if my sums are correct, the first teams knocked out were Poland and Costa Rica on 15 jun, when Ecuador beat Costa Rica, making Germany and Ecuador on 6 pts and the others on 0, at which point it is impossible for them to go through. Before that match, I think either team could in theory have gone through if Ecuador lost.

I've got France too. If they win I have to sing their national anthem 8-(

Wow, small world.

If they win I have to sing their national anthem 8-(

Is that like what everyone has to do, or did they pick on you because you have france? I really couldn't, "FRANK-REICH" is stretching my singing ability :)

Whoever wins has to. I was rather hoping that if I won it would be with Trinidad and Tobago and nobody would know what it was meant to sound like.

I think what we're actually required to do is make a prat of ourselves in public, rather than produce anything recognisable. That's my theory anyway and I'm sticking to it.

[cartesiandaemon.livejournal.com]

I assume so. Making a pratt of youself is (a) easier for you and (b) funnier for them, so I don't really see a downside :)

Of course, you'll be torn on knowing which side to cheer for.

If Sinatra were the Fuehrer, would it be the Third Frank Reich?
